Rate this sake
🍶
Description

Fermented in wooden vats using the traditional kimoto method and made with local Yamaguchi Yamadanishiki rice milled to 60 percent, this unpasteurized junmai ginjo shows aromas of grapefruit, green apple, lychee and watermelon. Nectarine, lemon zest and black pepper notes add complexity, while a brief aging period lends refreshing acidity and a full, lively mouthfeel.
